That.
There's also a huge mental switching context cost when you try to have code mixing, say, french and english together:
size_t taille;
site_t taille_domaine;
vs:
size_t length;
size_t domain_length;
Hardly anyone does the former. It's simply not a thing. I mean: sure, there are the odd projects that'll be exceptions.
But we pretty much all name our functions/methods/variables/etc. and write our comments in english.
FWIW when I code I actually both think and count in english.
